Innovation Challenge

Register

An Innovation Challenge is an exciting, fast-paced competition where student teams work together to develop innovative ideas that address real-world problems. Over the course of just a few hours, students will brainstorm, design, and pitch a venture, combining creativity and teamwork to compete for recognition and prizes.



An innovation challenge is a timed competition where student teams come together to develop business ideas in response to a specific challenge. Each team works collaboratively to create a solution, prepare a 3-minute pitch, and present their ideas to a panel of judges.

More than just a competition, this challenge offers a dynamic learning experience. Students can apply classroom knowledge, think critically, and practice essential skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. It’s also a great opportunity for students to connect with judges, educators, and peers—building relationships and gaining insights from experienced professionals. Judges not only evaluate ideas but also share their expertise, offering feedback and mentorship in a fun, dynamic learning environment. Students also learn from one another by observing different creative approaches to solving challenges, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
